The book is called “Owning It All” and for me it was a deeply affecting work. Throughout it Kittredge celebrates the hardscrabble, wide-screen landscape of this Southeastern Oregon desert county where he was raised, while at the same time he atones for and criticizes the devastation several generations of his ranching family unleashed upon that land. It is a tragic and cautionary tale that reminds us that the land we think we own can turn back on us, and that we are all more vulnerable and connected to the forces of nature than we care to admit. I thought I should someday write and sing a collection of Harney County songs. With this new album I finally got around to doing just that. Most of the songs on this album came alive when I was fashioning the sounds and words for the last Walkabouts record “Travels in the Dustland”. They are in some ways of a piece with the “Dustland” songs, but even then I knew they needed to be in a different pile. They are less about musical gestures and more about what is being sung. And while the songs for “Travels in the Dustland” were also desert songs, their landscapes were abstract and mythical. Here the events and characters are imagined but the places are real and the roads are ones I have driven myself. I wanted a sense of both rawness and restraint in the recordings for this album. I felt those qualities were already imbedded in the songs and that the musical performances should also reflect them. The upright bass player Iga Golob and I played the songs live and unadorned for two days in a sprawling, reverberant studio on the outskirts of Prague. The room can hold an 80-piece orchestra and there we were, just the two of us face-to-face in the middle of the floor, dwarfed and a bit awed by our surroundings. Given the subject matter of the songs, this somehow felt correct. Ziga brought the essential pulse and dialogue to these performances and I couldn’t have done this record without him. Milan Cimfe joined us as both the recording engineer and as our occasional drummer. My wife Anda sang backing vocals on two songs, Paul Austin added electric guitar to “The Carnival Smoke” and my old friend Terry Lee Hale played distorted harmonica on “Many Moons.” I originally imagined this record sounding like “Nebraska” if it had been a Dub album. We didn’t quite end in that place but I would guess that small remnants of that idea remain. What has been left out of this music is arguably more important than what has been added to it. The space is there so that the stories have ample room to breathe. And finally, now that the album is done, I think I can move on and find a new place about which to obsess. – Chris Eckman/Ljubljana/Sept. 2013 Artist Chris Eckman Label Glitterhouse Buying Options 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Genre Rock And Pop Track Listings 01.Nothing Left To Hate 02 The Conifer Smoke 03 Requiem For The Old Skool Heavy 04 Katy Cruel 05 Sound Of No Return 06 Many Moons 07 Rock Springs 08 Ghosts Along The Border Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Chris Eckman and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Chris Eckman Where The Spirit Rests Rock And Pop | Glitterhouse | 1LP Released 4th June 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Eckman Where The Spirit Rests £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Glitterhouse SKU: GRLP1032 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Katie Von Schleicher Consummation Rock And Pop | Full Time Hobby | 1LP Released 22nd May 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Katie Von Schleicher Consummation £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Full Time Hobby SKU: FTH362LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View National, The First Two Pages Of Frankenstein Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th April 2023 £25.00 - £26.00 Select options National, The First Two Pages Of Frankenstein £25.00 - £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th April 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP Released 9th June 2014 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimi Hendrix Experience Live At Monterey £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: ALEG 42031 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View J Gelis Band Bloodshot Rock And Pop | Import Exclusive | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 16th March 2015 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders J Gelis Band Bloodshot £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Import Exclusive SKU: RLGM4003062PMI Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 16th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Natural Lines, The The Natural Lines Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th March 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Natural Lines, The The Natural Lines £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA1356V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band Doc At The Radar Station Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 12th February 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band Doc At The Radar Station £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2787 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blueboy Singles 1991-1998 Rock And Pop | A Colourful Storm | 2LP Released 1st September 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blueboy Singles 1991-1998 £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: A Colourful Storm SKU: CLEARER001 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 1st September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Singers Grave A Sea Of Tongues Rock And Pop | Domino | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th September 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Singers Grave A Sea Of Tongues £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP343X Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th September 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pink Floyd The Final Cut (2016) Rock And Pop | Pink Floyd Records | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th January 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pink Floyd The Final Cut (2016) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pink Floyd Records SKU: 0190295996956 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Everyone You Know Just For Charlie and His Pennies Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 15th April 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Everyone You Know Just For Charlie and His Pennies £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439994221 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
